on were occupied all day yesterday and
last night by seven members of the
Plainfeld volunteer fire department.,
Theo. Vannes, Lewis Vannes, Horace
Vannes, Geo. Reed, IPhillip Hapenny,
Rob. Skinner and John Jackson. The
prisoners were arrested between 2 and
4 o'clock yesterday morning accused Of
having been the originators of the hum
dred or more incendiary fires that have
taken place in the city during the last
ten or twelve years. About year ago
so numerous did the fires become that
the Board Of Underwriters, of New
York, sent two Pinkerton detectives to
Plainfeld to ferret out the culprits
Four months afterward the common
council offered a reward of 81, 900 for
the capture and conviction of the guilty
persons. Then the police committee
of the council employed Edward Muir.
ply to run down the incendiaries. Mr..
Murphy's first move was to secure EN-.
'ployment in the Scott printing press
works. Tken he made himself solid
with several Of the boys employed there
and was introduced by them to friends
in the fire department, where Murphy
suspected the culprits would be found.
He was made a member of the depart
ment, found his suspicious correct, was
made a member of the gang that set
the fires, and finally caught one of the
firemen in the act o6 incendiarism.
Jackson. it is alleged, made confess
ion duplicating - other members of the
company and two wellknown citizens.
None of the prisoners was told why he
was arrested until he was safely behind
the cell door.
When the fact of the arrests was
made known in the morning there was
tremendous excitement in the city, and
crowds soon gathered around the sta.
ton house. Special police were called
out and were kept busy all day. All
over the city were gathered knots of 10
or 12, who excitedly discussed the mat
ter. Never in the history of the city
were people more completely taken by
surprise than by these arrests.

The State Business Mems Association,
through its president, Gen. E. M. Pope,
has just made another complaintagainst
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad,
which is of great interest to the citizens
of Mankato, New Ulm, Sleepy Eye,
Tracy, etc. We have notroom to copy
the entire complaint but will give the
most important part thereof, which is
found in the third paragraph, as fol-
lows
''That the said defendant railway COM
pany for it's services as such common
carrier in carrying merchandise of all
kinds and classes from Chicago and
Lake Michigan ports to stations on their
line Of road as afore indicated, have es-
tablished and published a tariff of
freights and charges which, as it Of
right ought to do, establishes and makes
a reduced rate per ton per mile for the
greater distance from Chicago for all
stations on its said line of road between
Chicago, ILL.,, and GAINESVILLE, Mimi, a
distance of 412 miles, while the same
tariff for continuous transportation of
the same freights, over the same line,
and from the same point Of origination,
it establishes and makes higher
through rate per ton per mile for all
stations west of GAINESVILLE
In proof Of these representations. a
table is submitted Wherein the rates per
ton per mile are figured, the rates and
distances being taken from the tariff
sheets Of the railroad company. The
table show. up the injustice and viola
ton Of the long and short haul clause
very clearly. For instance, it is shown
that the company charges SO cents per
hundred pounds for hauling frst-class
freight to GAINESVILLE, distance Of 412
miles, while the rate to Mankato is go
cents per hundred, distance of 4SO
miles. The rate per ton per mile to
GAINESVILLE is $2.42, while that to Man
